How do you apply the concept of momentum to compare the mass and velocity of a slow moving train and of a high-speed bullet?
The slow moving train has a much higher mass than the high-speed bullet, but the bullet has a faster velocity than the slow moving train so their momentum is the same.
Why does a slow-moving loaded truck and a speeding rifle bullet each have a large momentum?
Momentum is the product of velocity and mass.
Why does a fast moving car have more momentum than a slow moving car of the same mass?
Momentum (p) is defined as mass (m) times velocity (v). p = m*v Therefore, if you increase velocity, you also increase momentum. You can easily observe this by noting that it takes more force to slow down a faster moving object than a slower moving object.
How air friction affect momentum?
AIr friction will try to slow down any item moving through air, and as the speed is reduced so is the momentum.
Explain why one should roll forward after landing when one jump side ways from a moving train?
If you were to jump sideways from a train (not that it would be smart), you should roll forward because of inertia which is an objects tendency to resist a change in motion. Since the train is moving forward and you are in it you technically are moving with the train. To slow yourself and not get hurt you must work with inertia.

What opposes motion and causes moving objects to slow down?
concervation of momentum concervation of momentum 2nd Answer: Well, not really, no. Friction causes moving objects to slow.

Why dont you notice the Doppler effect for a slow moving train?
The Doppler effect occurs whether the sound source or the listener is moving. You wont notice the Doppler effect on a slow moving train because the radio wave is reflected, its frequency changes depending on the speed of the object.
What is momentum the measure of?
If an object is at rest it has inertia, which has to be overcome to make it move. When an object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed it has momentum, which must be overcome to slow or stop the object
What are some examples of large slow moving beetles?
chafer
What is a large thick body of slow moving ice?
a glacier
